What Texas Representatives Replied to
MIR. Gibbs to attend the Convention.
Several days ago THE GAZETTE re-
quested the members of Congress to
furnish this paper with copy of their re-
plies to the invitation to attend the Dallas
convention. In response, THE GAZETTE
was informed that some had not retained
copies of their replies, some had not
replied at all, and some had not received
invitations to be present. Messrs. Gull
berson and Sayers complied with the re-
quest, and other members stated their
positions, but not for publication, since
they had either not been invited or had
not forwarded their replies at the time to
Mr.. Gibbs. Mr.. Culberson's letter has
been printed in THE GAZETTE, and the
following, from MI. Sayers and Mr..
Grain, are added:

The prohibition we advocate is for men
to prohibit themselves, attend to their
own business and let other peoples
alone, till they violate the laws OF the
land. These self-constituted guardians
of society, who regard this country as
| pyramid on the little end and supported
only by the props of their hands. are
tipsy on sentiment. With $4,000 populs-
ton in Hopkins county and only dozen
or more drunkards, why all this rant?
Can it be an insult to the sobrietY
and manhood of the people of Hopkins
county. We want it understood that this
is all your fuss; nothing else would do
you, and if you don't like this country
after the 4th of August, you have our per-
mission to move to either Kansas or
Maine. We would, however, rather you
would consider the matter, stay with US
and help Sulphur Springs to down Green

The opponents of prohibition in Texas
are now at work organizing and getting
ready for the contest, with full deter
mination of defeating the amendment.
The opponents of the measure in this
county will soon have clubs formed in
every hamlet ia the county, with view
to securing full vote in August, and it

ton county will roll up majority of over
$500 against the amendmenJ.-T Brennan

from Messrs. Reagan, Coke, Maxey, Cul-
berson and others, all of whom pro-
nounee the attempt of the anti prohibition
committee to drag the Democratic party
into the prohibition contest, unauthor-
lied, revolutionary and perilous to the
best interests of the party, Barney Gibbs
has revised his call and he now an
nounces that it sis not for a party
convention but for all those opposed to
prohibition" Had he pursued this
course at first instead Of trying to involve
the Bible, Democracy and other outside
issues in the contest, his chances for
success would have been greatly in
creased. The Prohibitionists are very
wise in their determination to stick
closely to the one point ia controversy,

What if the prohibition amendment
carries? VIII it plunge the state in ruin,
ill our iails with criminals, break down
our public institutions, ruin the youth Of
our country before they have scarcely
placed their feet on the threshold of man
hood, demoralize society, wreck the nap
piness of wives, mothers and sisters and
cucumber US with the CALLING chains and
Ubiquitous yoke of slavery? Certainly
not; the most ultra -prohibitionists do
not claim this for it. But one grand and
glorious privilege viii be denied the liber
ty loving sons of free America-that of
going into q saloon to deplete their
pocket-bOOks, to cloRd their minds, to
grieve their wives, mothers and daughters,
and to lender themselves incapable of
performing their duties as citizens.
If the prohibi ion amendment carries,
the revenues of the state will be consider
ably reduced, but there will be proper
tionate reduction in the cost Of maintain
ing criminal courts, for the simple reason
that there will be a decrease of over 80
per cent in the number of crimes commit
ted. Thus we will be nearer the ideal of
an economically administered govern
ment.- NacOgdoches Star-NeWs.

to grape culture, and most Of our lands

are to this part of Texas what cotton is

We are but in our infancy. Our popu-
lation is yet Heterogeneous, and its annual
increase is drawn not only from every
state in the union, but also from many
of the nations of Europe. The differenr
sections scarcely know one another, and
we find our political conventions, our leg
islatures, our religious assemblies and
our moral and charitable societies often
dividing upon sectional grounds. This
should not be. 1t fOreshadows greater,
more important and more permanent dis :
sessions in the future unless liberalitY of
feeling and of action is displayed in refer

Temperance is habit to be greatly de-

all men, but, in our haste to accomplish
great work, we should not adopt
methods that will be fatal, not only to the
cause itself, but also to other forces
which enter into the constitution of indi

by which the amendment may be expur-

that have taken place in many
communities in our own state
